As a parent who has suffered similar mumbo jumbo from the mouths of
anthroposophy specialists, I can certainly sympathize!

Let's face it...Anthroposophy is a spiritual path and, beautiful though it
may be, it grew out of a sexually and psychologically repressed society (
the same on that raised up Hitler.) It has serious limits because of this.

It is important to consider the implications of any spiritual path upon
one's physical and personal choices. It is, however, not  a good idea to
make choices based solely upon spiritual truths proclaimed by someone else!

I feel very strongly about this...and so would anyone in the spiritual/
alternative medicine field. Weil, Chopra, Seigel.......they all encourage a
marriage of the two areas for optimum health.

Rudolf Steiner was a philosopher...not an educator or a physician. To take
the theories that he put forth in "Anthroposophical Science" too literally
is a grave misuse of them.
